Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has had experience at the nursing program at SDSU? I really wanted the Souix Falls or Brookings campus because i’ve seen rapid city and was not happy with what i experienced. However, I got accepted into Rapid City for the fall and I would have to leave to school in two months. I live far closer to the other two campuses and my parents financial situation isn’t the best for me to move so far. Is there any possibility of accepting the seat at Rapid City then change campuses? Does anyone have experience in that? I’m really grateful for the opportunity. I’m just afraid I’ll be miserable in that area, especially being so far from home when my family needs me.

Thank you in advance.

6 schools participating in SF. Small charge for adults, kids up to 18 free. Serving breakfast and lunch. Anyone know if there are other school districts in the state participating?

I travel a lot, essentially the whole state. One thing I’ve noticed is that I don’t think I’ve seen a single business (other than those owned by Toby himself) with a Doeden sign on the premises. I don’t think any business wants to be associated with the lunacy when he inevitably comes in last place. I see a lot of every other candidate. Well, except Ahlers. Not a lot of those, but still some. Gives me hope.

Like mow a field with a Super M attached to a sickle. Herd up hogs and get them on a trailer for sale. Slaughter a number of chickens for this weeks dinner. Clean the turkey he just shot near the end of the season. Cry when his diesel bill comes due. Going without fert this year due to rocketing prices.

These are my pipedreams.

Anyone familiar with my605Drive?

I bought a new car a few months ago and did everything I needed to at the courthouse. Vehicle registration renewals are coming up soon, so I log into my605Drive and it says I own two vehicles.

Only my new vehicle shows up as needing renewal, so that's good at least. How do I remove the old vehicle from my account? Do I need to contact someone? Did someone at the courthouse goof? I see I can archive it on the 'More...' tab, but the main screen still says I have two vehicles when it's archived.

>The largest player among the independent committees active in the race for governor is Rushmore Principles, which is registered in South Dakota but run by Hadyn Smith of Mountain Brook, Alabama. Smith has not responded to messages from South Dakota Searchlight.

The committee’s new report shows it received contributions from a federal committee, Republican Forward, totaling $1.4 million. Rushmore Principles reported about $1.3 million in spending, including about $1.2 million on digital media and direct mail opposing Rhoden.
...
Republican Forward’s major contributions include large amounts from the Sioux Falls business community: $500,000 from POET ethanol, $300,000 from First Premier Bank Chairman and CEO Dana Dykhouse, $150,000 from MarketBeat founder and CEO Matthew Paulson, and $100,000 from Lloyd Companies. Among other donors, Republican Forward has also received $100,000 from Genesis Farms Cannabis Company, which has multiple medical marijuana outlets across the state. 
...
A state-registered political action committee called South Dakota Safety Action has been active against Hansen. The committee is run by Tabor Shabot from a Sioux Falls address. It reported $20,000 in total contributions, all from Dan and Jan Joyce of Frankfort, Illinois. The committee spent about $18,000 on a “Jon Hansen Weak on Crime” mail and text message campaign, the committee’s report says.
...
Dakota First Action, a committee originally founded by Doeden, has promoted a “Republican Primary Voter Guide” through a website branded as South Dakota Tax Watch. The site describes South Dakota Tax Watch as a “policy watchdog,” but its disclaimer says it was paid for and approved by Dakota First Action. The guide criticizes Rhoden, Hansen and Johnson while presenting Doeden favorably.

Has anyone else noticed a sharp increase in spam calls [allegedly] from a 605 area code? It's been relentless for the past week.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - The South Dakota Board of Regents has announced a set of objectives designed to position South Dakota state schools to adopt artificial intelligence in higher education.

“Artificial intelligence is transforming every sector of our economy, and higher education must evolve just as rapidly,” said BOR President Jeff Partirdge. “These strategic objectives ensure that South Dakota’s public universities prepare students to be AI-ready, responsive to workforce demands, and capable of responsibly utilizing emerging technologies. This is an investment in the long-term success of our students and our state.”

The Board of Regents says their objects are in five core components:

1. Governance and infrastructure needs
2. Curricular and programmatic impacts
3. Optimization and utilization of agentic AI
4. Research
5. Development of AI literacy and fluency among students, faculty, and staff

“By building a strong support system and investing in training across our campuses, we are helping ensure students, faculty, and staff can use these tools responsibly, confidently, and in ways that strengthen learning and opportunity for everyone,” said University of South Dakota President Sheila Gestring.

My daughter moved to SD permanently after college.

Her car is financed in my name, the car is in my name, and so is the insurance. (Yes, she’s on the insurance)

She is getting her DL to establish residency as she’s been there for 4 years already, but we want to title and insure the car in SD as it’s MUCH cheaper all around than where we live.

My question is, is it possible to keep the car and loan in my name and register and Insure the car if I don’t physically live in SD (yet), but she does?

I really don’t want to refinance the car and we have about 18 months left on the loan.

Looking to save money on Registration and Insurance and the car is physically in SD anyway.

Thanks

In 2002, the gubernatorial Republican primary got extremely ugly, and Rounds rose from very distant third place to win.

What are the odds that happens this year?

Dusty and Larry are canceling each other out. And nobody likes Toby. That leaves Jon Boy.

My parent lived and died in South Dakota. I’m in a different country. She had some belongings. All stored at a friend’s place. She had 3 vehicles and at least one has a loan. One is a semi and is currently rented out to someone. I don’t know who

Who I contact?

How do I get rid of the vehicles?

Is there an organization that can take her stuff and dispose or donate?

How do I find out who the loan for the truck is with? Do I then give them the truck?

Who do I contact about her body? I don’t know where it is. Can I get her cremated there and then moved to my country?

Hi everyone — Jenny here from Weather Hat Co. in Belle Fourche.

My husband Jack and I recently started a new project called The Hat Bar, and I thought some folks here might get a kick out of it.

We travel to gatherings and events around the Black Hills with ready-to-wear wool felt and straw hats that people can personalize on-site with bands, ribbons, feathers, conchos, and other details.

It has been a fun way to bring some of the western heritage side of the shop into a more social setting, and we already have our first wedding coming up next month.

A few people had asked us over the years if we would ever do something like this, so we finally decided to give it a shot.

Mostly just excited to share it with fellow South Dakotans.

Thanks everyone.

Planning to do both Wind and Jewel Caves in mid-July during my 5 days in the Black Hills area, and I figure I should do (at least) one tour in each of them. Which tours are best? I'm interested in the Wild Cave tours but I can't tell if they're worth the extra cost. Thanks!

my friend is moving to Seattle and is driving from Chicago. making drive leisurely, about 300 miles a day. He loves cinnamon , so I’m trying to find a cinnamon roll near his route in each state to amplify his trip. points if it has local flavor or style.
